1
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: Hi everybody. I'm Kelsey Nixon and missus Kitchen Prescription, the

2
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: podcast you listen to when you don't know what to

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: make for dinner today, is episode seventy two. Kitchen Office Hours.

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: Every couple of months, I like to hold Kitchen Office

5
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: Hours to answer your questions that I collect from Instagram

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: and within my recipe club membership, and what I ask

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: for questions. I remind you that it can really be

8
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: anything related to cooking or the kitchen, really just anything

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: that might make it easier for you to get dinner

10
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: on the table. And you guys really showed up this

11
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: time with some great questions, so I can't wait to

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 1: dive into those. But first I want to kick off

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: the episode by discussing three recipes you could throw on

14
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: your meal plan for the week as you plan ahead

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: and kind of give yourself the gift of deciding once

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: what you'll feed yourself and your family for dinner this week,

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: rather than facing that dreaded question of what am I

18
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 1: making for dinner today every single night at five pm.

19
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: Because I think mid February to mid March can be

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: some of our most blah weeks of the year. I

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: often find myself like sliding into a dinner rut. And

22
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: I think it's because it's like like dead of winter, right,

23
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: especially if you don't live somewhere warm and you are

24
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: dealing with just cold temperatures and more snow or more rain, whatever.

25
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: So I decided in Recipe Club that March is the

26
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: perfect time to suggest an entire month of five ingredient recipes,

27
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: because when I'm in a rut the best way for

28
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: me to pull myself out is to simplify. I need

29
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: to be cooking really simple recipes that require very little

30
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: brain power. Then as I get kind of back into

31
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: my dinner groove, I find myself getting more excited about

32
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: trying me recipes. But when I'm going to rut, like

33
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: five ingredients is about all I can handle. So all

34
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: of the recipes I'm sharing today that are on my

35
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: own meal plan are glory only five ingredients and hopefully

36
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: that helps you too. So the first recipe is catchu peppe,

37
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: and this is a classic Italian recipe that really this

38
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: is one of those that I kind of think everybody

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: should know how to make, But I want to be

40
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: honest with you, this is the recipe I make for

41
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: myself and my husband and now my oldest when my

42
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: younger kids are like, I just want pasta, no sauce. Pasta,

43
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: no sauce, that's what they say, and it's like, well,

44
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: I don't want that. So Catchio Peppe is this amazing

45
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: pasta dish that is so simple. You really could make

46
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: it in three ingredients, but I added five to just

47
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: jazz it up a bit and add some protein. But

48
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: it's essentially spaghetti or bucatini. And then you make a

49
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: sauce with the pasta water because it's got all that

50
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: good starchiness in it that's going to create some nice

51
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: body in the sauce. Some melted butter and pepper. That

52
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: is like the signature things. Oh and pepccorino cheese. Don't

53
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: forget the cheese, Kelsey. You gotta have the cheese, you

54
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: gotta the butter, you gotta have the pasta water, and pepper,

55
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: crack black pepper. Now I add a little bit of

56
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: a arugula for some greens, and I add some cubed panchetta.

57
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: I really like having that richness of that, and I

58
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: kind of sprinkle that on top. You could do bacon

59
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: as well, but that is it's like such a good

60
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: staple for me to have, and it takes like so

61
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: little time and I almost always have everything to make

62
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 1: it on hand. So we're having that this week. We're

63
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: also going to have the five ingredient tie steak salad.

64
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: This is a copycat recipe of one of my favorite

65
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: restaurant salads. The restaurant's called Hillstone. I've talked about it

66
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: on here before. Sometimes it's called Houston's. But it is

67
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: so delicious. It's got steak, it's got mango, it's got avocado,

68
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: it's got tomatoes, it's got really delicious me so dressing,

69
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: and so I love having that every so often. And

70
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: it's a really easy one for me to deconstruct because

71
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: my kids happen to really like mango and avocado and steak,

72
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: so I know that it's going to make everybody happy.

73
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: And then finally, I'm making my veggie for Tata. About

74
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: a year ago, I do an annual girls trip with

75
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: friends from college, and I made this veggie for Tada

76
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: when we all got together last year, and people are

77
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: still talking about it and it's so simple. That's what's

78
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: so crazy is because it's only five ingredients and we're

79
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: getting ready to go on our trip again and someone said, Kelsey,

80
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: will you make the veggie for Tata And I said, yes,

81
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: of course I will. And I thought, you know what,

82
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to put that on the meal plan because

83
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: it's so yummy. It's a great thing to make if

84
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: you want to do a breakfast for dinner night, but

85
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: you want something that's got protein in it. It's a

86
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: little hardier than you know pancakes and waffles. So veggie

87
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: for Tada so delicious. I love it. So there are

88
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,120

89

Speaker 1: to make one or two of the recipes, you can

Speaker 1: just look at that shopping list based on the recipe.

94
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: We tried to say, amplify that for you. And while

95

Speaker 1: month of the year so that you don't get tired

97
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: of cooking the same thing over and over again, seasonally

98
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: we do an entire month of five ingredient recipes and

99
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: meal plans, so this is technically our Spring five ingredient,

100
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: recipe collection, and meal plan. These are hands down our

101
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: most popular months because who we tend to help most

102
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: is overwhelmed parents. So if you've been thinking about trying

103
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: Recipe Club, this would be a great month to check

104
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: it out because you're going to get all of those

105
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: amazing five ingredient resources. All right, let's head into the

106
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: back half of the podcast and officially open kitchen office hours.

107
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: So today we're going to tackle five questions here on

108
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: the podcast that will hopefully be helpful to you. I

109
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: also typically do a weekend Q and A on Instagram,

110
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: so if I'm not answering your question that you had

111
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: submitted today, you can always DM me or submit your

112
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: question during one of my weekend at Q and a's.

113
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: But let's get right into it. Our first question is

114
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: from Christa S. And this is what she said. I've

115
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: started picking up a rotisserie chicken every time I do

116
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: my costco run because I know it's such a good

117
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: deal and the chicken tastes so good. But I get

118
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: home and I don't know what to do with it.

119
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: I need a few recipe ideas for rotisserie chicken. This

120
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: is a curl after my own heart. I love, especially

121
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: a Costco rotisserie chicken, mostly because there's so much meat

122
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: on them. You guys, it's five dollars. When I tell you,

123
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: it is a good deal, it is such a good deal.

124
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: In fact, I think it's been published that Costco actually

125
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: takes a loss on the rotisserie chickens just to get

126
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: people in the store. And that's when they're in the

127
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: very back of the store, so you have to walk

128
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: through the whole store to get to them. But it

129
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: really it's and they're so good. They're so good. So

130
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the most basic option, the easiest,

131
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: easiest option, and then I want to talk about a

132
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: couple of recipes here. So this is as base as

133
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: it gets. You're gonna pick up that rotisserie chicken. You're

134
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: gonna get a bagged salad mix from Costco because they

135
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: have a variety. Lots of times there are the tailor

136
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: farms ones, and they've got a couple of really really

137
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: great ones. And you're gonna pick up one of the soups. Okay,

138
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: they have a chicken noodle soup. Then they have in

139
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: the refrigerated section. They got also they got tomato basil soup,

140
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: they got a chicken tortilla. But if you do a

141
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: salad with a soup and a cut up rotisserie chicken,

142
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: and if you are like Kelsianda and how to cut

143
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: a rotisserie chicken, I have a video for that. I

144
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: have an Instagram reel for that. It's one of my

145
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: most popular reels ever about how to break it down

146
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: and slice it up. Or you could just shred it

147
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: and you could incorporate these shredded chicken into the salad mix.

148
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: Or if you've got kids like I do, they want

149
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: it shred it anyways. And there's that viral thing going

150
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: around right now where you take the rotisserie chicken and

151
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: you put it in the gallon sized ziploc bag. I

152
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: don't think that's for me. That feels way too messy

153
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: for me, where you take out the bones. Once you

154
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: learn how to break down a rochissery chicken by like

155
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: taking off the breast meat and taking off the legs,

156
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: it's not that bad. I promise it's not that bad.

157
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: But that's a meal, guys, that's a meal. The rotissery chicken,

158
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: a salad kit and a soup. Oh, grab some bread

159
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: if you really want to go for it, and that's

160
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: like no recipe required. Now I have a couple of

161
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: recipes that I more than a couple now that I

162
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: go too often when I know that I've got either

163
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: a cop I am running to do a costco order.

164
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: And I have actually organized those in recipe Club because

165
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: I use them so often. So if you're a member

166
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: of Recipe Club, in the membership, you're going to go

167
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: to search Ingredient Index and you're gonna go to rotissory

168
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: chicken and there's gonna be I think there's twelve recipes

169
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: in there that are rotissery chicken friendly. I have a

170
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: five ingredient chicken tortilla soup skillet enchiladas, There's this gillet

171
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: chicken pop pie, a creamy chicken TOORTLINI soup apple cheddar,

172
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: green bowls, chicken and broccoli bake chicken schwarmer bowls, and

173
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: those are all recipes that I almost exclusively use a

174
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: rotisserie chicken for. So if you're in recipe Club, that's

175
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: a really easy way to find those resources. Now, these

176
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: are my recipes organized Recipe Club, but this might be

177
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: almost too many options for you. So this is what

178
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: I'd suggest come up with just three to five go

179
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: to recipes that are your rotisserie chicken recipes. Then you

180
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: must write them down. Write them down somewhere you will

181
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: remember to reference them when your brain feels too tired

182
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: after a trip to Costco. That way you can easily

183
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: decide what to make with your rotisserie chicken. Now you're

184
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: not gonna be surprised here we say your recipe binders

185
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: a great place for that. That's a great's that is

186
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: like home base for easy dinners. So whether you write

187
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: that on a you know, post it, and you stick

188
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: it in your recipe binder. We have a little pocket

189
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: in the back you can do that, or you actually

190
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: take one of your tabs and put rotisserie chicken and

191
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: you print out all the recipes for making that you

192
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: like to make with a rotisserie chicken. Or you print

193
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: out a piece of paper, or you write that just

194
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 1: says these are my rotisserie chicken recipes. Or maybe you're

195
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: gonna put it in your phone in the notes app.

196
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: But after you go through the effort of figuring out

197
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: these are the recipes my family likes that I can

198
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: make with a rotisserie chicken, write it down I promise

199
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: you'll forget. You will forget, and then you will waste

200
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: it all that time thinking about a solution, and then

201
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: you will forget. So write it down. The other thing

202
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: I want to say about rotisserie chicken is to consider

203
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: buying two chickens and shredding one to store in the

204
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: fridge or freezer for another recipe that I'm telling you, like,

205
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: you can't buy a pound of chicken for five dollars.

206
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: You just can't. I mean maybe if you're going like

207
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: frozen chicken breast, but the fact that and it's so

208
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: well seasoned, it's just it's a really great shortcut to

209
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: have on hand. Okay. Second question is from Bonnie. Bonnie says,

210
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: I've had the same pots and pants since I was married,

211
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: and shoes so cute. You put in parentheses a long

212
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: time ago, and they are so bad I need new ones.

213
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: But it feels like such a hard decision to make

214
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: what should I buy? So Bonnie, I want to validate

215
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: that cookware can be such an overwhelming purchase. It's expensive,

216
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: you want it to last for a long time, it's

217
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: multiple pieces, it's just a lot of decisions to make.

218
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: I actually have a whole episode of this podcast dedicated

219
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: to cookwear. It's just search kitchen prescription cookware and it

220
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: will come up for you. We go into stainless steeal

221
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: versus nonstick, the different varieties of nonstick. We talk about

222
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: cast iron and some of the heirloom cookware brands like Lake,

223
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: Crusee and stob. So if you are in research mode,

224
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: if that's the place you're in, go listen to that episode.

225
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: If you just want someone to tell you what to

226
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: buy and trust that there's a lot of testing and

227
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: research behind that recommendation, I will give that to you.

228
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give you two options. If you want

229
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: a set that's easy to clean and cook with and pretty,

230
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: but you can accept that it won't last forever, maybe

231
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: three years. By the Carraway Ceramic nonstick cookware set, it's

232
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: a great value for what it is and I have

233
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: really loved cooking with mine, But because of the ceramic

234
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: nonstick feature, you must accept that it won't last forever.

235
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: Like I said, maybe two to three years. If you're

236
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: doing daily use, especially on the skillets. After about that time,

237
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: you'll realize that it doesn't feel so nonstick anymore. And

238
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: that's just because with repeated heat use, it breaks down

239
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: that ceramic coating, which is nonstick and a great alternative

240
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 1: to other nonstick, but it won't last forever. If you're

241
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: okay with that and you're up for like a I

242
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: would say three year option, that's a great set, And

243
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: look think about it cost per use. I think that

244
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: sets something like three hundred and twenty seven dollars or something.

245
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: If you're going to use something every day over the

246
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: course of three years, I can justify that cost. Now,

247
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: if you want something that's gonna last longer, but you

248
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: still want some of those features, you still want it

249
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: to be easy to cook with and easy to clean,

250
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: but you're willing to spend just a bit more, I'd

251
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: suggest the hex Cloud hybrid cookware. It combines nonstick and

252
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: stainless steel features, and so it's kind of the best

253
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: of both worlds. I will say it's not as esthetically pleasing,

254
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: but it doesn't look bad. It's it just is not

255
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: as pretty as care Away. It is more expensive, but

256
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: this brand is a workhourse in the kitchen, I suggest

257
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: looking for deals at Costco. Sam's Club. Really really like

258
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: my hex Cloud cookware, so I'm not even going to

259
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: get into full blown stainless steel, which is like the

260
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: most classic recommendation. But I know you guys. I know

261
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: you guys well enough to know you want ease when

262
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: it comes to cleaning up, and if that's not always

263
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: the best option for that, and we're not gonna castres

264
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: a whole other conversation. So that's where I'm gonna leave that,

265
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: Bonnie with a solid ceramic, nonstick option and a hybrid option,

266
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: all right. Question number three from Wendy K. Wendy says,

267
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: I hate meal planning. Like all the household tasks, I

268
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: hate it the most. How can I stop hating it?

269
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: I know it will make my life easier, but I

270
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: dread it so much. Help, Okay, Wendy, I think we

271
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: need to rebrand meal planning so much so that I've

272
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: thought I should stop calling a meal planning because it

273
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: does can it can elicit like a visceral reaction for people.

274
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: But first of all, I want to validate your feelings.

275
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: It is hard. Making dinner is this thing that never

276
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: really goes away, and there are so many steps involved

277
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: in actually getting dinner on the table, from deciding what

278
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: to make to ordering or picking up the groceries. To

279
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: actually making the food and then hoping your people will

280
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: eat it. But I promise you that if you commit

281
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: to putting a CIS or a routine in place, it

282
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: will make dinner easier and you will feel so much lighter.

283
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: Not only will you eliminate some of that decision fatigue

284
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: and stress, but you will also just feel really proud

285
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: of yourself and that goes a long way. It feels

286
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: good to make a meal. It feels good to feed

287
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: your people, It really does. It will make you more

288
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: confident in the kitchen, so you know that. You know

289
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: that's what you said. I know it'll make my lave easier.

290
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: You already know that. So let's talk about some very small,

291
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: specific steps you could take to setting you up for success.

292
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: The first thing I want you to do is pause

293
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: this podcast and you're going to set a timer on

294
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: your phone when you know you'll be home without any distractions,

295
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: to sit down, look at your schedule and determine how

296
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: many nights you need to plan to feed your people.

297
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: Notice that I didn't say cook, because we all know

298
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: that you can feed people without cooking, and that's probably

299
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: what we're doing a lot of right now. And you're

300
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: probably in a place where you would like to cook

301
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: more or have more home cooked meals. But if you're

302
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: in this place where you're like, I hate this, I

303
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: hate this, promise me you will not cook more than

304
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: three times a week. If this is the mindset you're

305
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: currently in, you will be more successful if you start small.

306
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: On the other nights, ordering pizza, feed everyone from the trader,

307
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: Joe's frozen aisle, door dash, drive through, whatever, assign someone

308
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: else to take care of dinner that night. Just don't

309
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: don't say I'm gonna start meal planning this week and

310
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: plan to cook seven meals like very few people could

311
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: do that. I don't do that. I don't cook seven

312
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: nights a week. Start small, maybe threes, even too much.

313
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: You might want to start with one or two, but

314
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: make the decision that you're gonna do it, so you're

315
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: gonna set that alarm, and that alarm is gonna go

316
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: off and you're like, Okay, I'm doing it. I'm doing it.

317
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at the schedule. I'm gonna decide, Okay,

318
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna cook two things this week. And then you

319
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: can either just pick two recipes you already like you

320
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: can pick two recipes from an existing meal plan, like

321
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: the meal plan we send out every week. You can

322
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: open your fridge or pantry and say, I gotta use

323
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: up this chicken, I gotta use it the cilantro, and

324
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: then you can look for recipes that have those ingredients.

325
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: Whatever it is. Just make it easy and then write

326
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: the recipes down, write them on a post it note,

327
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: write them in your recipe binder, write them in your phone,

328
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: write them in your Google calendar, whatever it is. Write

329
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: them down. And when I say write them down, don't

330
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: just write the recipes. I want you to write how

331
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna feed your people every night. So if on

332
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: Tuesday you're door dashing from your favorite Mexican restaurant, you're

333
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: gonna write door dash padro like your whatever it is,

334
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: that's what you're gonna do. Or you're gonna write frozen potstickers,

335
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: and that's what you're gonna and that you're giving yourself

336
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: that gift for the recipes you are making. You're gonna

337
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: order your girl, and you're gonna pat yourself on the back.

338
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: Best case scenario, if you're not ordering your groceries, you're

339
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: gonna go to the grocery store and just do it.

340
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: You're just gonna get it done. So that is where

341
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: I would start. It'll make your life so much easier.

342
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: You already know that. You already know that. Start there.

343
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: Question four from Jess. Picky eaters in my household are

344
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: killing me. What has worked with your little girls? Okay, Jess,

345
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: My best advice is to deconstruct the dinner plate. That's

346
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: what's worked best for my family. This is the way

347
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: I like to do it. When you start making dinner,

348
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: before you put all of oil in the pan, pull

349
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 1: out the plates. You are feeding your picky eaters beforehand,

350
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: and you're gonna add stuff as you make the meal. So,

351
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: for example, I just did these skillet nachos. My girls

352
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: are not gonna eat the composed skillet nachos, but you

353
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: know what they will eat. They'll eat black beans. So

354
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: as I'm making it, when I add the black beans

355
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: to the pan, if I have their plates out already,

356
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: I can just reserve the black beans and deconstruct it

357
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: that way. Or there's rice that goes into this, I

358
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: can just put the rice in the segmented plate. Because

359
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: heaven forbid anything touches one another before I add it

360
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,239
Speaker 1: to the recipe. The shredded cheese, the all of these

361
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: shredded cheese. So before I add it on top of

362
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: the nachos and melt it, I'm just gonna take some

363
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: of that shredded cheese and put it on their plate.

364
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: The other thing you want to say is focus on

365
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: what is nutritious that they like to eat, and do

366
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: not be afraid to give them a ton of that.

367
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: I give you permission. If they're having strawberries every meal

368
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: because they like strawberries, like, give it to them every meal.

369
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: Bell peppers. We went through a bell pepper phase here,

370
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: we went through an etamammee phase here. I promise it

371
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 1: will make you feel better if you're giving them something healthy.

372
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: And then another thing we do sometimes more successfully than others,

373
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: is we have a no thank you bite policy, meaning

374
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: you do not have to eat everything on your plate,

375
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: but you do have to take a no thank you bite,

376
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: and if you don't like it, you say no thank

377
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: you and you eat the things you like. Also, just survive.

378
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: It will pass. I promise your kid will be okay,

379
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: but it is really frustrating. In the meantime, try deconstructing

380
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: those dinner plates. Question five from Annie Favorite thing in

381
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: your kitchen right now? Ooh, I love this question. Okay.

382
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: My favorite thing in my kitchen right now is this

383
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: centerpiece I have on my kitchen island that includes candlesticks,

384
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: because I'm really into lighting candles for dinner, even like

385
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: casual dinner. I promise it doesn't mean I'm a fancy person.

386
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: It just kind of sets a mood and it's been

387
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 1: so fun. We don't do it every night, but when

388
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: we do it, I love it. And I also have

389
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: our Modern Manners flip chart there, which this is such

390
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: an awesome thing. It just helps to generate a conversation

391
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,479
Speaker 1: at dinner. There's Modern Manners for teens, there's Modern Manners

392
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: for kids, and you flip it over and each day

393
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: there's a different like tip like what was ours the

394
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: other day? Oh the other night when we did it

395
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: was about don't talk too loudly, and it was just

396
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: it was great to see it coming from someone else

397
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: other than me. But that just generates a conversation about manners,

398
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: and my first grader who's learning to read, reads them

399
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: and it's great. I just love the routine of it all.

400
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: So that's the favorite thing in my kitchen right now. Okay,

401
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: we're going to finally finish this week. What they give

402
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: me five five things that made my life easier or

403
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: more enjoyable this week. And the first thing on that

404
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: list is candlesticks, the candlestick holders, because I really am

405
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 1: enjoying this little tradition that we're starting, a ritual maybe

406
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: is a better word for it, of having candles at

407
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: dinner a couple nights a week. And so I just

408
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: have these really I mean inexpensive ones from Amazon and

409
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: they work great. Another thing that's making me so happy

410
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: and is actually very useful is I have these window

411
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 1: box planters, very simple, like I don't even think they

412
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: have drainage, Like they're just these gold rectangular boxes. And

413
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: I buy the two dollars herbs at Trader Jokes. I

414
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: don't think they're two daughters. I think they're one thirty

415
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: nine or something. And I literally just drop them in,

416
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: three in each and those sitting on my window in

417
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: my kitchen next to my sink, they grow so impressively.

418
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: I love how it looks, I love how it brings

419
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: something living into my kitchen. And I use them. I

420
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: use them in my cooking. So it's such a and

421
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: it feels a lot less like stressful than actually potting

422
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: them and planting them. I just drop them in and

423
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: then when they die it was two bucks, I buy

424
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: another one. Anyways, I'll share a picture on Instagram. They're

425
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: really really they make me so happy. True Lime packets,

426
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: you guys know I love my better days and my

427
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: better greens and my better hormones. That is like my

428
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: favorite supplement. But the true lime. True lime is like

429
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: crystallized lime juice, and I can add it to any

430
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: water and it instantly makes the water more delightful to me,

431
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: and it's increased the amount of water I drink significantly.

432
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: So I like adding those in with my better days.

433
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: But I also like it just with straight water. So

434
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: Treeline packets love those. It's totally helping me drink more water.

435
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: Art cart for my girls. This is something I got

436
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: them for Christmas, and it's an art cart that I

437
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: keep in my kitchen. Now, obviously this would be dependent

438
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: on your house setup. But what I like about it

439
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: is when I when my kids going from school, they

440
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: want to be near me and I love that, but

441
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: sometimes I need to be being productive, and so by

442
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: having an art cart in my kitchen, they can do

443
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: art while I am making dinner and doing things like that,

444
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: and it makes me so happy that they're not asking

445
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: for a screen. It's just been a really good investment.

446
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: So it's like three tiers. The top tiers got the

447
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: markers and the crayons and the colored pencils. The second

448
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: tiers got notebooks and paper. There's little things for scissors

449
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: and glue and anyways. It's a great place to also

450
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 1: contain all of the art stuff that's not shoved into

451
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: to a cabinet. I loved it. And finally, about the

452
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,959
Speaker 1: best pair of jeans this week, you guys. They're so comfortable,

453
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 1: so comfortable. My sister's been telling me for months I

454
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: need to get them. They're kind of like this viral

455
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: Anthropology sells a style called the Collette. They're the collet

456
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: cropped pant, and they're not just jeans. They come in

457
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: all different types of materials. But I happen to really

458
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: like the genes so loving them. I've worn them three

459
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,000
